Best Large Cars of July 2011

No changes in this segment, considering there isn't much to judge on.



It's rare for large cars to come under the $35,000 mark which is why we've got only two contenders: the Toyota Aurion and the Ford Falcon XR6 (which is on sale). The Toyota Aurion wins this round being cheaper and having better fuel consumption.



The XR6 is not too much more but has a whopping 11.1L/100km in terms of fuel consumption, making it second.

Best Medium Cars of July 2011



Hyundai i45 is good value for money. While Hyundai's offerings are now comparable in price to their Japanese counterparts, they still come with a bunch of extras and the fuel consumption isn't bad either.



The Suzuki Kizashi came a very close second. Its specs are quite similar to the Hyundai i45 except it loses out by being a few hundred dollars more than the i45.



Once again, the Mazda 6 Classic is third because its slightly more expensive and having worse fuel consumption.

Best Compact Cars of July 2011



No changes in top place, with the Hyundai i30 the best value compact car you can buy.



No changes in second place either with the very cheap Mitsubishi Lancer.


The Volkswagen Golf is no longer at a competitive price, so the Ford Focus slots in third place thanks to decent petrol consumption.

Best Light Cars of July 2011



Once again, the Ford Fiesta is best value for money, especially the diesel version.



Coming (a very close) second place is the new Suzuki Swift which is the best value petrol light car you can get.


The Honda Jazz just misses by being slightly less fuel efficient.
